I think there might be some slight misunderstanding between Charles and you. As far as I understand, you talked about the content and the structure of the website. I simply assume that website means (to you) all the infrastructure elements that are visible to the user, even the planet, the wiki, ... Of course, this will be managed by the community (and by the way: the local communities already do this for the localized pages of the Silverstripe site, e.g. [1]). If I got Charles right, then he refers to the technical aspects of server maintenance that run the website services. As far as I know, only few administrators will have access to that servers, because otherwise we need to expose the passwords/certificates. But that should be fine for managing DNS and stuff like that. And now my personal take: At the moment, having a young project like LibO, I do see the need to organize / confirm decisions that have some substantial impact. For example, the initial branding (visual design) has been accepted (SC decision, discussion with the community) to focus on the first releases. There will be changes, of course, but it just makes life easier to have something rather conservative to start with, and then continue to work on it on a broader basis - after having had a deep breath. As far as I understand, this is very similar to the website work ... having Silverstripe as a first technical basis which might get replaced if the requirements by the community are not met (any longer). Thus, concerning your initial idea of revisiting / discussing the current status with the whole website team / interested people: +1 Cheers, Christoph [1] http://de.libreoffice.org/ -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/website/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
